Renal carcinoma discovered incidentally by arteriography during evaluation for hypertension.

Since June 1, 1971 patients undergoing evaluation for hypertension have been evaluated with rapid sequence excretary urography, abdominal aortography and selective renal arteriography. Renal venous assays have been done in selected patients. Through July 31, 1974, 812 arteriographic studies in new hypertensive patients have been done. In 6 of these patients renal tumors were discovered by arteriography only and were not suggested by symptoms, urinalysis nor diagnosed on hypertensive excretory urography. This high incidence surprised us and we hope others will review their arteriographic series of hypertensive patients.

Microsurgical replantation of an incompletely amputated penis.

The use of microvascular techniques in the replantation of one partially amputated penis is presented. The advantages of these techniques are discussed. A review of the literature is included; penis-replantation results prior to the introduction of microvascular techniques are compared to results achieved since the advent of these techniques. The superior results associated with microsurgical techniques are demonstrated, and it is concluded that microsurgical replantation is the procedure of choice in the repair of penis amputations.
